Abstract:
Background and Aim: Online social networks have provided a unique platform for two-way communication and virtual interactions. Along with the benefits and facilities provided by these social networks, one should not neglect its dark side, which is the list of crimes in this environment. According to the available statistics and information, not only women are the biggest victims of crimes in social networks, but the vulnerability and injuries caused by women's victimization in social networks are more than the vulnerability of men.
Method: The present article, using the descriptive-analytical method and using library sources, is responsible for identifying examples of violence against women in online social networks and its effects on them and explaining some strategies for responding to the problem.
Ethical Considerations: In order to organize this research, while observing the authenticity of the texts, honesty and fidelity have been observed.
Results: The findings of this research show that female users of social networks who are abused may suffer irreparable mental and physical injuries to the extent that it leads to their death or suicide.
Conclusion: The result obtained from the article is that in order to deal effectively with violence against women in social networks, attention should be paid to the prevention of the passing of awareness to the victims, the intensification of punishment and discrimination based on gender, and attention to the wishes of the victim and the need of the criminal in the paradigm of restorative justice.
